A Fan-Made Half-Life 2 ARG?

Note: This is not the same as the "Possible HL2 Arg?" thread.

I noticed this thread on a Half-Life 2 forum.

it's some guy who is saying that the world of Half-Life 2, Combine, headcrabs, and all is actually real.

I would just dismiss this as the ravings of an obsessed fan, except for two things:

1. The poster,DrWalterBennett, writes in a clear, grammatically correct style, and is a pretty good storyteller.
2. Photos of "real" headcrabs have been posted- this suggests a level of preparation/reality more suited to an ARG than a simple story.


The forum thread:

Headcrab photos:

Laughing This is pretty awesome. I find it espcially amusing when he insults posters' grammar and spelling.

What in the hell are those head crabs made of?

They look like roasted chickens with cucumbers stuck in them.

@ Strings - Just read the first post.

@TJ229ER- HL@ came out fairly recently. Anyway, it is ongoing with daily updates.

Apparently he's made a website:

That's your standard disclaimer. It just means that, unlike some specs, he does not work for Valve.

And of course the phrase TINAG always makes me happy Smile

Sounds cool, but I don't want to spoil any of HL2 before I get to play it.

:EDIT: For someone posing as a scientist in quantum physics, he has a lot of spelling and grammatical errors.
